An experience like no other.
From a writer like no other.
The virgin rainforest seems a paradise to Englishman Simon Corbett. A last chance to salvage his career. A final refuge from a terrible secret.
But the jungle is no Eden. It hides secrets of its own. It does not forgive.
As Simon is drawn deeper into its haunted shadows, he learns to his horror that the past will not stay buried. For there are places in the forest where the line between the living and the dead is thinner than the skin of water.
A terrifying supernatural tale from Sunday Times bestseller Michelle Paver, author of Dark Matter, Thin Air and Wakenhyrst.

No one does creeping dread like Michelle Paver. With Rainforest, intoxicatingly weird and also prescient, she takes a stalker story and makes it uniquely her own. She has cemented herself as our modern day MR James and as her number one fan I can't wait to see what she does next!
With her latest novel, Paver has proved once again that she is master of the ghost story. With its vivid, brilliantly realised setting and creeping dread, I found this a truly terrifying read.
No one does terrifying like Michelle Paver.
A stunning tale of love, death and what comes after set against the sumptuous backdrop of the rainforest. Rarely have I finished reading a book, immediately returned to the first page and started reading again. Rainforest is utter brilliance.
